We’re looking for an experienced Scrum Master to bring structure, clarity, and momentum to a fast-moving software team. This is a hands-on role focused on establishing Agile practices from the ground up in an early-stage, ambiguous environment.

You’ll work closely with engineers and non-technical stakeholders to manage the product backlog, run effective sprints, and ensure the team delivers the right work—at a sustainable pace and with high quality.

This is a remote role | 25-40 hrs/week

What You’ll Do

Agile Delivery & Team Facilitation:

• Implement and evolve Scrum practices in an environment without existing process

• Facilitate all Agile ceremonies (planning, standups, reviews, retrospectives)

• Establish sprint cadence, velocity tracking, and continuous improvement rhythms

• Coach teams on Agile best practices and remove delivery impediments

• Manage dependencies and protect team focus across a service-oriented architecture

Backlog & Requirements Management:

• Own and prioritize the product backlog with key stakeholders

• Write clear, detailed user stories with acceptance criteria

• Decompose epics, groom the backlog multiple sprints ahead, and ensure work is development-ready

• Balance feature delivery with technical debt and long-term product health

Stakeholder, Quality & Release Coordination:

• Translate complex stakeholder needs into actionable technical requirements

• Create and maintain lightweight documentation, workflows, and functional specs

• Define and enforce a clear Definition of Done

• Coordinate UAT, production releases, and post-release issue triage

• Champion quality practices including testing, code reviews, and CI/CD

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in a Scrum Master, Product Owner, or similar Agile delivery role

• Proven success introducing Agile processes from scratch in startup or highly unstructured environments

• Strong ability to gather requirements and communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders

• Excellent written communication skills, including user stories, acceptance criteria, and documentation

• Comfortable operating independently, making decisions, and thriving amid ambiguity

• Able to balance delivery speed with quality and long-term sustainability

• Clear communicator across both technical and non-technical audiences

• Track record of building Agile systems and practices that teams actually adopt and maintain

It is an Asset if you have

• Experience in regulated or compliance-driven environments

• Exposure to AI-driven products or conversational interfaces

• Familiarity with Agile tooling such as Jira, Azure DevOps, or similar
